After Fourth Master tossed the bronze mirror to Su Peisheng, Su Peisheng cleverly presented him with a small box.
The fact that Fourth Master didn't accept it wasn't a noticeable mark, and he wasn't afraid of being seen by anyone at the Ministry of Revenue.
The Fourth Prince only had time to eat after returning to the Ministry of Revenue to handle official business. At this time, Li Chenjiao had only just gotten up and was sitting in the mansion.
Knowing that no tonic had been sent from the front yard, Li Chenjiao didn't care whether Fourth Master had forgotten or not. She simply asked Qiu Hu to bring some pills, mixed them with water, and ate them.
In her other hand, Qiu Hu held a tube of ointment: "Madam said that these pills should not be taken too often. They can only be used for three years. Using them again will harm your health."
Li Chenjiao has been using this medicine for almost a year now.
The pills had little taste and were more palatable than the tonics delivered from the front yard.
Li Chenjiao swallowed the pills and drank some warm water to calm herself down before having Qiu Hu apply the medicine to her.
Afraid of hurting her master, Qiu Hu applied the medicine while talking to distract him: "The horse that Master asked Green Plum to make has been finished long ago, but because we were worried that the cotton would get damp in the winter, we delayed taking it out to air it for the past few days."
Li Chenjiao originally planned to give it to the Fourth Prince on his first birthday, as a way of reciprocating the gift. However, the First Prince was left with the tutor in the front courtyard that day, and the cotton was being dried, so it was delayed.
However, since the Wu family is now extremely wary of everything around the First Prince, Li Chenjiao couldn't very well send anything over.
But this was something Li Chenjiao, as Aman's mother, had promised, and at that time, the eldest prince was indeed not well...
However, for now, I guess we'll have to wait. If all else fails, we can give the horse to the eldest prince on his birthday.
However, it's only March now, and the eldest prince's birthday is in September, which is quite a long time away.
Li Chenjiao yawned and silently reflected that some things should not be made with great confidence when there is no guarantee that everything will go perfectly.
However, the Second Princess looked at her with such pitiful eyes at that time that Li Chenjiao was "bewitched" and nodded.
Fortunately, Aman is still young and forgetful. Unless someone mentions it, the little girl probably won't remember it for a while.
For the next few days, the Fourth Master stayed in the front yard.
If you think about it carefully, it seems that Fourth Master has been staying in the East Courtyard lately, while he stays in the Front Courtyard on the first and fifteenth of each month.
By the fifteenth of March, the snow had completely disappeared from the capital, and people had all changed out of their thick winter clothes.
The princess's back injury in the main courtyard has finally fully healed.
It seemed that I would have to go to the main courtyard to pay my respects, but unexpectedly, I was unable to do so in the back courtyard either.
However, he still went to the main courtyard.
The Second Prince is sick again. It's unclear whether it's a cold or something else; everyone around him says he's fallen ill again.
When the main courtyard sent word that there was no need to go to the main courtyard to pay respects, everyone assumed that the princess's injuries had not fully healed.
However, it was strange that the Second Prince did not go to the front yard, which was unprecedented.
Li Chenjiao initially thought the news had leaked from the front courtyard, since only the people in the front courtyard knew whether the Second Prince had gone there or not.
Qiu Hu shook her head and said no, then added that it wasn't the information that had leaked from Wu Gege either.
Li Chenjiao pondered the tone for a moment, and a name suddenly popped into her mind: "Song Gege?"
Qiu Hu smiled and nodded: "I've heard that's true."
Li Chenjiao stroked her chin thoughtfully for a moment, then couldn't help but smile.
This matter was not easy to hide, but Song really is... true to her nature.
However, I can skip paying my respects, but since I know the Second Prince is not well, I still have to go and visit him.
Li Chenjiao had already finished washing up, so she didn't linger and headed to the main courtyard.
It was probably because the children's bodies couldn't handle the spring, or perhaps they weren't used to suddenly shedding their winter clothes. Apart from the fact that the main courtyard's Prince Honghui was sick.
Prince Hongyu of the Zhijun Prince's residence is also not doing well, and Prince Hongqing, born to the Third Prince's wife, Lady Dong'e, has also had a high fever...
Lady Dong'e had two sons. The eldest son, Hongqing, is now six years old, while the second son, Hongsheng, has only recently been given a name.
Originally, it was thought that Prince Hongqing was already six years old and this was just a minor illness. Unexpectedly, Prince Hongqing fell ill in March, and before April, the child passed away.
This really frightened the Princess Consort. She stayed by the Second Prince's bedside every day in a state of anxiety, and dared not let him go to the front courtyard to study for a while.
Prince Hongzhi, born to Lady Guarjia in the Fifth Prince's household, also fell ill in April. This made Lady Wu restless. Originally, she was gloating, but she dared not let the eldest prince run around outside. She begged the Fourth Prince and temporarily suspended his studies.
After that, things were peaceful at Seventh Master's residence, and the children were all healthy. This was because Seventh Master was physically weak and had difficulty walking, so his residence was given the special privilege of having an imperial physician to take care of him.
As for the Eighth Prince, even if he wanted to rush things, he couldn't. There was nothing he could do; there were no princes in the Eighth Prince's residence, not even any signs of good fortune.
Naturally, there was no need to rush or worry.
Throughout the spring, everyone was busy taking care of their children.
Li Chenjiao is more relaxed here. The Second Princess is in good health. The little girl, like her biological mother Li Chenjiao, is not too picky about food.
Every day, they have plenty of food, and there are frozen pears and persimmons to accompany them. In the spring, they can also go to the garden to see the fish. They can always find some fun every day.
Li Chenjiao was afraid of tiring the young girl.
However, the little girl wasn't too noisy outside; she only laughed a lot in the east courtyard.
Li Chenjiao had Lin Mama personally watch over the Fourth Prince. The child was still young and couldn't walk yet, so she wasn't worried about him getting cold.
However, this year's election didn't make much of a splash because all the children were not in good health.
Since the eldest son, Hongqing, had passed away, the Emperor personally selected two Manchu princesses to send to the Third Prince's residence.
However, this is quite ironic for the Third Prince's wife.
No new concubines entered the Fourth Prince's household, nor did any new concubines enter the Fifth Prince's household later, but the Prince of Zhi's household gained two more concubines.
How ironic! He lost his primary wife and eldest son, but gained several more women in his harem.
Li Chenjiao didn't find out anything, but Zhao Jiashi wrote a letter afterward, roughly saying that their Prince Hongqing's departure was suspicious.
However, it's hard to say who did it.
However, the Third Prince's wife seemed to be very saddened. Knowing that the Second Prince Honghui in the Fourth Prince's mansion was ill, she sent someone to visit him.
However, the Fujin only thought that the Third Fujin was cursing her because she had lost her legitimate son, and she didn't take it to heart.
Her second son is doing very well.
